Flirting should be part of the ongoing relationship. Just because you’re settled into a relationship doesn’t mean you can’t add sizzling sexiness to the mix and have some fu doing it.
In my romantic comedy, Scents and Sensuality, heroine science geek Amanda gets lessons in flirting from her free-wheeling best friend. Too bad her BFF didn’t give her the tips below!
By the way, if you have small children, it’s probably best to wait until they’re asleep. There’s nothing that takes the sizzle out of a romantic interlude like a child banging on the bedroom door and hollering, “Mom, Fido barfed on the rug.”
Older kids probably have music blasting into their ears or they're glued to their phones or video games so no worries.
1. Have your lover read to you. Aloud. A love scene from your favorite romance novel.
Did you ever see the movie, In Her Shoes (written by Jennifer Weiner), starring Toni Collette as Rose, Cameron Diaz as Maggie, and Mark Feuerstein as Simon?
There’s a scene where Simon, pursuing spinsterish Rose, finds the romance novel she has stashed away. He picks it up and begins to read this torrid love scene aloud.
He finishes the passage, turns to her, and says: “I don’t know about you, but I’m officially turned on.”
2. A variation of the above: you be the reader. Same result.
3. Don’t want to read? Buy an audio book. Queue it up to a scene you love. Run a bubble bath for two, turn on the audio, and dive in.
TAKEAWAY TRUTH
Flirting with your significant other is akin to “dancing like no one’s watching.” It takes courage. Carpe nocte. (Seize the night.)
